Ok. I only have 8 min. to write this so it is going to be quick and honest. The shooting was a tragic event, but we do have a right to bare arms. So this shooting is only a side affect of our right toi protect ourselves. On the topic of protecting, school should have security guys and they should carry guns. Immediate responders for these kind of things.

Whats Important
1. My physical fitness and my preparation for my future. Basically its important to me that I don't end up poor in the gutter. I think that's reasonably important!
2. My high school JNROTC future. According to SCPO I will be SCPO once he is MCPO! That's a big position! Top of the Top. Not quite sure how to do its job but ill figure it out!
3. Dedicate 20+ years to the United States Marine Corps and retire and not do anything more. Ill be that 4 star General and rolling in dough. Very hard earned dough. I will be that guy that is just a bad ass old guy, live out in the country, hunt my own food, drive the biggest truck I can find. Sit on my porch for most of the day with a double barrel shotgun in my lap. You know, the one that can play the blues like a pro too with a dog next to his chair. Any visitors are scared to come up, I can tell a car is coming 5 min before it can even see me. God, what a way to live, total silence out in the country. Id love that. But first I have to get past 20 years of being shot at to get there, nothing to bad.
4. What motivates me? Well, just about every second of the day im thinking about being a Marine. I couldn't want anything other than that. All physical activities im thinking of it, even sitting on the couch at home im thinking of coming home 10 years later to my family dressed in dress blues and just standing tall and proud. Serving the country, knowing that me and people like me are the reason my family can sleep safe at night. So I don't know what exactly is motivating me, maybe its all the pride, maybe the thought of being a hometown hero, maybe its just the type of music I listen to but whatever it is, I hope it never leaves!

Photojournalism
What kind of education do you need to become a photojournalist?
Pursue bachelor's degree programs in photojournalism. If a school or university doesn't offer a bachelor's degree in photojournalism, students could also major in photography and minor in journalism.
What's one school that has a photojournalism program?
Boston University in Boston MA
What kind of pay might you expect to earn as a photojournalist?
It depends At the low end you it can be as low as a trade. But some photojournalists get as much as 20,000 dollars per shoot!
What would you need to do to prepare for a job interview as a photojournalist?
Dress to impress. People skills are even more important than photography skills when it comes to event photography - you need to bring out the best in who you are photographing. Smile like the joker, be very personable. Your portfolio counts , but if it consists of landscape photos, fine art shots of interesting textures, etc.. it wont be very relevant ..so load it with candids and portraiture.
Would you consider this as a possible profession/job in your future? Why or why not?
NOPE! I don't want to be a little boy making his living taking silly little pictures! I want to be a man! Grow up to do something that benefits other people! Not sell cheap pictures to people. Being a photojournalist has no real benefit to society.... all you do is take stupid pictures and get money for it, its a job that reminds me of super weird cat ladies or some fragile skinny guy dressed like a hipster drinking some like 17 syllable titled frappucino mocha latte or whatever. Well I guess someones gotta do it... So ill let whoever wants to do photojournalism be one, just step aside so you don't get in the way of more productive jobs..... And god dang it!! Your not a photojournalist if you use instagram to take a picture of your food, I'm tired of seeing that on my Facebook! Just eat your damn dinner!
So the answer is most definitely no. No way Jose! Nada! Never!

5 Hour Energy Killing People
1. I chose a story about 5 hour energy killing people that drink it. I chose it because I drank a 5 hour energy once and wanted to know if I was going to die.
2. I think it is connected to Caffeine in it, its 3 or 4 more times the amount in coffee.
3. They should ban 5 hour energy and instead urge people to buy energy drinks like monster or rockstar.
4. They are not going to do anything about it. This company has enough money to do whatever they want with their product. It wont get banned.
5. Lame honestly, im a very honest person. This was just lame. Sorry

Movie Reveiw on "The Great Debates"
The movie I will be reviewing today is a movie titled "The Great Debates". It was a movie telling a story about a debate team and its inner struggles to make it to the top and debate against Harvard. In the movie you join a young man who is struggling with racism in America. He joins the debate team of their school but faces a problem already. He starts to have feeling for a girl on the debate team and quickly realizes she is into another man on the team. This creates some inner team conflict which almost tears the team apart. This movie is very well acted and portrays the struggle of belonging to a team and the struggle of racism. It is a very emotionally rich movie with lots of small twists and unexpected things to keep you surprised. Although it has a heartwarming ending, it does toy with the viewers emotions as things go wrong, then when you think the story is going to go spiraling down and all is lost something happens and the fire is sparked and the movie goes on! All around if you are looking for a movie dealing with past America and the hardships of overcoming racism as well as emotional relationships within the team. A story that gives you hope and takes it away just to give you hope again then this is definitely a great movie and suggested for you!

Election Day
Who would you vote for and why?
I would vote for Obama. He seems like a chill president, I dont like Romney, he looks funny and strikes me as an annoying person. Obama is all around cooler. That is in all honesty. I don't pay attention to politics yet because im only 14 so I cant vote yet.
